Kara’s music is like a warm breeze from Muscle Shoals in a contemporary framework that scratches a musical itch you didn’t realize you had. Kara’s newest release, “Sojourner” is a perfect title for music that is right here, right now and moves the listener to a new place. Don’t let this one slip by. It deserves your attention.

— George Nunes, MusicRow

It’s as if Bonnie Raitt, Sia, & Janis Joplin had a baby. 

— Pulse Music Television, San Francisco

Native to the Wichita plains and raised in Boulder, CO, Kara's midwestern roots seep through her sultry voice and songwriting with an eclectic blend of soul and rock 'n roll. Her songs have been placed on television shows including CBS Scorpion and DirecTV’s You Me Her. In 2010, she opened for the late B.B. King at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, alongside Al Green and Buddy Guy, and Steve Miller Band in 2015. On November 3rd, 2018, she released her first full length record SOJOURNER in Seattle, Washington.
